William Noel's School Portrait

William Noel

October 2008

Our little boy is growing up so fast!

Soccer Finale!

Our soccer season finale was rained out! However, our little superstar was one of the few athletes on hand to receive his trophy, certificate, soccer balls and cones!

Watching the rain fall and cancel our final practice!

After a celebration with hot dogs and Powerade, the awards were handed out by Coach Kristy.

Of special note, after William received all of his awards and the new soccer balls, he ran out to the soccer field to play... we saw more soccer than at any of the practices!!

Elmo's Green Thumb

Sesame Street Live presented "Elmo's Green Thumb" recently, so Mommy and William headed to Westchester County for a little date! What a way to spend a morning!!

We arrived at the theatre early and found our seats! Someone already talked Mommy into buying a treat... one of the light up whirly things with Elmo on it!

Party pic while waiting for the show to begin! Someone was so excited!

William cheered and danced during the first half of the show. Then, intermission arrived and out come the Elmo balloons. From our previous experience, we knew this would happen. Last time we attended, William was only about 18 months old, so he didn't ask for a balloon. This year was different. When he saw them he said, "Mommy, I want an Elmo balloon." So, off we went to get one.

Back in our seats after purchasing a $10 balloon... yep... $10.

One of the final numbers... trying out the "theatre" camera setting... seemed to work well!

Halloween 2008!

Firefighter William was in his glory this Halloween season! He wore his outfit nearly everday, whether there was a party or not!

The debut of the costume... we are getting ready for a Halloween party that one of our friends hosted!

Firefighter is really excited that his Daddy was at the Halloween party!

A little video of the Halloween parade... our firefighter really struts his stuff!

After the school party and a much needed nap, we carved our pumpkins. When William woke up, he said, "it's Thursday, let's carve pumpkins!" He remembered what we promised him!

Confession time... we only carved two of the above pumpkins... guess which two??

Firefighter was so excited to bring his pumpkins outside and light them!! Mr. Fire Safety made sure all was well before he went out to trick or treat!

William really enjoyed trick or treating this year. He took his Daddy up and down our block. According to reliable reports, he said, "trick or treat" at each house and said "thank you" when he left! He couldn't wait to start eating all his treats... a candy diet on Halloween night... oh well, they are only little for a short time!
